- of 55 The vending machine in Katherine's office building offers cans of pop and candies. Katherine's utility function is U = 3PC, where P is the amount of pop consumed per week and C is the amount of candy consumed per week. Pop costs $1 and candy costs $0.5 per bag. If Katherine has $10 to spend, she will consumeYour own a chocolate producing company which can advertise on both television (T) and internet(I). The effect of TV and online commercials on sales is again given byS(T,I) = 500 + 48T−6T2+ 112I−6I2+ 4TI. You have a budget of $25 that you can spend on T and I. The price of aTV commercial is $12per unit and the price of an online commercial is also $12 per unit. 1. Determine the optimal level of TV commercials T and online commercials I if you have to spend all of your budget. You should provide two methods to solve this, by direct substitution and by setting up the Lagrangian. Is the Lagrange multiplier positive or negative? Give an intuitive interpretation of why this is the case? 2. Now determine the optimal level of TV commercials T and online commercials I if you DO NOT have to spend all of your budget. Do you obtain the same answer as subquestion 5.1? What is the Lagrange multiplier equal to in this case? Discuss.Sales are the function of advertising in The Dawn and Diva Magazine (X, Y).

- U.S. food markets consumers viewed beef as a normal good from 1960-1976, but viewed it as an inferior good after that point. This type of change is not abnormal, in that as average household incomes rise, preferences might change. For instance, as households move from poor to middle-class, their consumption of beef might increase. However, as households move from middle- class to upper-middle-class, they might choose to purchase more exotic foods products. Assuming you are a beef producer in 1983, what will happen if incomes continue to increase? a. The marginal cost of beef will increase. b. The marginal cost of beef will decrease. c. The demand for beef will increase. d. The demand for beef will decrease.Zeynep is at the supermarket buying her bi-weekly groceries. As she arrived at the store right before closing, not much is left on the shelves; so her purchases are limited to beef, B, and an assortment of organic vegetables, V. Beef costs £50/kg and vegetables Ł10/kg. Her utility function is expressed as U(B,V) = B0-6v0.3. She has ±150 to spend. Please answer the following questions using this information: A) Given the vegetables cost less than beef, explain why Zeynep would not only buy vegetables. B) Write Zeynep's constrained maximization problem (objective function subject to her budget constraint). C) Using the Lagrangian technique, find how much beef and vegetables would Zeynep buy? D) Show that for the preferences represented as above, demand for beef is a function of only its own price, pg, and income, m, but not the price of vegetables, py. Note: Rather than using the given prices and income, use PB, Py and m. Find and comment on the comparative statics, i.e., how do changes…Price of advertising in newspapers and magazines are Rs.5 and Rs.10 respectively. The total budget for advertising is Rs.105. For maximizing the sales, find out the best combination of advertisement in newspapers and magazines by using lagrangian multiplier.
- There are two shows on Netflix that Jeff can watch, Show 1 and Show 2. x₁ measures the number of episodes watched of Show 1 and x₂ measures the number of episodes watched of Show 2. Jeff's preferences can be represented by u(x₁, x₂) = x² + ax². Jeff has 5 hours available for watching Netflix today. Each episode of Show 1 lasts 30 minutes, while each episode of Show 2 lasts one hour. For all question parts, round to three decimal places if necessary. For parts (a) - (f), let a = 1. Draw Jeff's indifference curves for the utility levels u = 4, 9, 16. Draw a straight line between the bundles (x₁, x₂) = (4,0) and (x₁, x₂) = (0,4). Now, use your picture to determine whether the following two statements are true or false. Answer "1" for true. Answer "0" for false. a) Statement 1: Jeff's preferences are strongly monotone. b) Statement 2: Jeff's preferences are strictly convex. c) Find the bundle at which one of Jeff's indifference curves is tangent to the budget line. (x₁, x₂)=( d) Evaluate…There are two shows on Netflix that Jeff can watch, Show 1 and Show 2. x₁ measures the number of episodes watched of Show 1 and x2 measures the number of episodes watched of Show 2.

His utility function is given by ?(?1,?2)= 2?1?2, where ?1 is the number of chocolates he consumers per week, and ?2 is the number of chips he buys per week. A chocolate costs 10 SEK, and a chip costs 20 SEK. David’s weekly budge for consuming on these two goods is 120 SEK. (1) What is David’s budge line? Draw the budget line on a graph with chocolate amounts on the horizontal axis and chip amounts on the vertical axis. Write explicitly at which points budget line crosses the axis. (2) What is David’s marginal utilities for the two goods, respectively? What is his marginal rate of substitution between the two goods? (3) What is David’s optimal choice? Calculate the numerical answer for the optimal bundle. Also draw an indifference curve for David on the same graph as question(1) and show the optimal bundle.
